So named by perennial Dallas city council candidate and activist Sandra Crenshaw, following the 2008 Texas Democratic primary and caucuses which she led.

In a comment posted by Crenshaw on the D Magazine "Frontburner" blog on 3/6/2008, she described a post-caucus event where she intended to serve "popcorn in brown paper sacks and cactus juice (Mountain Dew) and Texas Earl Campbell Links."

Amos: "I hear there is a rally for Dallas city council members' legal defense funds."
Andy: "Really? Will there be cactus juice and sausage?"

Kingfish: "I need to get back to my Southern roots. I was thinking about getting a moon pie and an RC Cola."
Lightning: "You mean some cactus juice and a hot link, right?"
